+8.14 KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING
+
+Architectures: x86
+Parameters: args[0] - size of the dirty log ring
+
+Kernel is capable of tracking dirty memory using rings, which
+are stored in memory regions that can be mmaped into userspace.
+
+There is one dirty ring per vcpu and one global ring.
+
+The dirty ring has the following structure.
+
+struct kvm_dirty_gfn {
+ __u32 pad;
+ __u32 slot; /* as_id | slot_id */
+ __u64 offset;
+};
+
+struct kvm_dirty_ring {
+ union {
+ struct {
+ __u16 avail_index; /* set by kernel */
+ __u16 fetch_index; /* set by userspace */
+ } indices;
+ struct kvm_dirty_gfn dirty_gfns[0];
+ };
+};
+
+The two indices in the ring buffer are free running counters.
+They are _not_ limited to the range 0..size-1 where "size" is
+the number of element of the ring buffer. This makes it easy
+to compute the number of entries in the ring buffer, which is
+simply (u16)(ring->avail_index - ring->fetch_index).
+
+In pseudocode, processing the ring buffer looks like this:
+
+ idx = load-acquire(&ring->fetch_index);
+ while (idx != ring->avail_index) {
+ struct kvm_dirty_gfn *entry;
+ entry = &ring->dirty_gfns[idx & (size - 1)];
+ ...
+
+ idx++;
+ }
+ ring->fetch_index = idx;
+
+Userspace calls KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl right after KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl
+to enable this capability for the new guest and set the size of the
+rings. The size of the ring must be a power of two. The larger the
+ring buffer, the less likely the ring is full and the VM is forced to
+exit to userspace. The optimal size depends on the workload, but it is
+recommended that it be at least 64 KiB (4096 entries).
+
+After the capability is enabled, userspace mmaps the global ring
+buffer from the VM file descriptor. The per-vcpu dirty ring instead
+is mmapped when the vcpu is created, similar to the kvm_run struct.
+The per-vcpu dirty ring is located at offset KVM_DIRTY_LOG_PAGE_OFFSET *
+PAGE_SIZE of the memory mapped region.
+
+To enable the dirty logging ring buffer, userspace calls
+KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctls on all the user memory regions
+with KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES bit set.
+
+To disable the dirty logging ring buffer, userspace calls
+KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctls on all the user memory regions
+with KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES bit clear.
+
+Once the dirty logging is enabled, userspace can start harvesting
+dirty pages.
+
+To harvest the dirty pages, userspace accesses the mmaped ring
+buffer to read the dirty GFNs up to avail_index and set the
+fetch_index accordingly. Harvest can be done when the guest is
+running or paused. Dirty pages don't need to be harvest all at
+once. To rearm the dirty traps, userspace calls the VM ioctl
+KVM_RESET_DIRTY_PAGES.
+
+If one of the dirty lists is full, the guest will exit to userspace
+with the exit reason set to KVM_EXIT_DIRTY_LOG_FULL, and the
+KVM_RUN ioctl will return -EINTR. Once that happens, userspace
+should pause all the vcpus, then harvest all the dirty pages and
+rearm the dirty traps. It can unpause the guest after that.
